USANA Health
Sciences, Inc is one of America’s
leading health supplement
Multi-Level/Network Marketing companies.
Currently USANA Health Sciences distributes
products in the United States, Canada, the
UK, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and
Singapore. But is USANA any different than
the other MLM companies or is it more of the
same with a new name.
The problem with MLM companies that focus
on health supplements is that it’s near
impossible to find out if the products
actually work. The business models of USANA
and similar companies severely prevent this
for several reasons.
First of companies like USANA Health
Sciences are founded by people with
doctorate degrees in the sciences. This allows them
to boast about the chemical make up of their
supplements using terms that average folks
don’t understand. Further since these
products are not FDA approved these experts
conduct “independent” research for all their
results. So it becomes hard to tell if their
information is biased or truly accurate.
Secondly, it’s hard to get a straight
answer from distributors of health
supplements like USANA. These people have a
vested interest in selling these products.
Often they fabricate elaborate stories of
how supplements have helped their friends
and family overcome a variety of ailments.
In regards to the USANA Health
Sciences business opportunity there have
been mixed reports about the profit
potentials. USANA entered legal proceedings
against an individual that reported on the
failures of the majority of USANA
distributors. There has been back and forth
slander between both parties complicating
the issue even further. However on the USANA
website it states that the average earnings
for North American distributors in 2005 were
around $800.
If you look at MLM companies that have
posted income results for their distributors
this number seems very accurate. The general
breakdown for MLM companies will usually
reveal that between 80-90% of the people are
barely clearing costs of running the
business. Around 5-10% make an average
living something like 40-60k a year, and the
illustrious <5% are making serious
money.
Despite the pervasiveness of these facts
many people still join MLM programs like
USANA Health Sciences. Usually it’s
because they are referred by friends or
family who they trust or simply because they
believe that they can be in that tiny elite
group making money.
I stopped joining businesses that have
high failure rates because I've found
something better. Something that has
changed the way I think about being
successful and earning an income. To

This is a busines opportunity to own your business because your buying from the person who is scamming you to buy from there business to start your own business. There are making money from you by making you tnink your joining a team. As soon as Mr. Jeff Cabral asked me to pay for a training video kit ($20), and then vitamin package to sell ($239)...I left with about 45 min of wasted time under my belt. SCAM

USANA is not FDA approved and neither is any company selling vitamin products because they are vitamins are not drugs, but USANA is on the PDR (physician dest reference) on page 335. USANA is a great company, don not let someone else spoil this amazing opportunity.

USANA is a scam right through and through. Preying on the poor's emotions and desperation to make money for the top elite of the company is downright scum. And with regards to the above comment, how is USANA not an MLM company? It has a binary pyramid concept that is used to make many people join, and uses "distributors" to market its products. As a former distributor of USANA, and though I had not lost any money, I am absolutely disgusted at the lack of transparency in USANA's business antics and the sore absence of business integrity, driving me to quit the business altogether. It is one thing to keep mum about USANA's practices but another to mislead the general public. So do not casually label people as ignorant or pathetic. You are the ignorant one if you believe more unknowing people will follow suit the thousands who have become prey to this unethical company. There are no get rich quick schemes, just pure hard work. Even going door to door to sell retail vitamins will... read more»

First of all, USANA is not MLM. USANA focuses on Group sales volume points, which means that it is a team effort. And second, it is easy for an individual to sit there and judge a company without researching their compensation plan or the history of the company and its founder. People who listen to ignorant people are pathetic. Educate yourself and follow your own path of success. Do not base your success on other people’s failures. Love, Lydia.
